Rutgers made a splash in the recruiting world this week, landing recruit Dylan Harper, the No. 2 recruit in the class of 2024, per 247 Sports. Harper will be the second member of his family to play for the Scarlet Knights, following his brother, Ron Harper Jr., who repped Rutgers from 2018-19 through 2021-22.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the news, less than an hour before Dylan Harper was scheduled to make the announcement at a news conference in New York. The news leak did not go over well with Ron Harper Sr.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is famous for his lack of emotion, both on the sidelines and during his press conferences. Belichick—or at least the side he shows the world—can be a wet blanket, something that never ceases to amuse NFL fans.
The Patriots coach was in rare form Thursday night after his squad marched into Acrisure Stadium and stunned the Steelers, 21—18, for just their third win of the season. One would think that such a victory, given what Belichick has endured this season in terms of rumors about his job security, would call for letting one’s hair down.
As part of the broadcast for the NBA in-season tournament semifinals on Thursday night, ESPN and TNT held a crossover edition of NBA Countdown and Inside The NBA, which put Stephen A. Smith and Michael Wilbon on set with the iconic TNT crew.
Just for the occasion, TNT’s Inside The NBA crew decided it would be fun to put Smith on the spot with a hilarious game of “Who He Play For?”
As host Ernie Johnson noted, the game is usually played by the Inside The NBA crew at the beginning of each NBA season.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I have to confess, I was so disinterested in the Steelers-Patriots game last night that I completely forgot about it until I saw the final score.

Speaking at the FIA Prize-Giving Ceremony, Lewis Hamilton addressed the FIA’s inquiry
The 2023 FIA Prize-Giving ceremony is underway in Baku, where the world’s motorsport governing body will officially recognize the best performances of the 2023 season. That includes Formula 1, where Max Verstappen will collect his third-straight Drivers’ Championship, and Red Bull will be crowned the Constructors’ Champion for the second straight season.
However, things are anything but smooth in the F1 world.
This is an absolutely horrific story. 18-year-old high school Georgia baseball star Jeremy Medina will be taken off of life support after accidentally getting hit with a follow-through swing during batting practice.
The shocking part is the freak accident could have happened to any of us or our children.
Medina’s family and Gainesville High School principal Jamie Green informed the catcher / pitcher’s teammates about the sad news on Thursday. The incident occurred back on November 20th that left Medina in a coma with a traumatic brain injury.
The world champion boxer—winner of 29 bouts, collector of 24 knockouts and sufferer of only one defeat, delivered by another elite champion—understands his world. But despite all the baked-in machismo and violence and brutality, Regis Prograis is also unafraid to admit to and lay out his most unexpected career secret. In addition to power, agility, technical proficiency and the rest of his complete skill set, Prograis also benefits from … reading?
It’s true. Prograis is The Fighting Reader, a pugilist who could start a book club if he wanted.
Charles Barkley got his Warriors jokes off in front of Bob Myers on live TV
As the inaugural NBA in-season tournament arrived in Las Vegas on Thursday for its semifinals and eventual championship game, the ESPN and TNT NBA desks briefly merged to form their own superteam. TNT had its normal cast of characters with Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson. ESPN’s side featured regulars Stephen A. Smith, Malika Andrews, and Michael Wilbon, and also Bob Myers, the former Golden State Warriors executive who left the team after last season.
The Steelers suffered a brutal loss to the Patriots on Thursday night, losing to a team that entered the game just two wins for the second consecutive week. Pittsburgh’s offense struggled the entire game, and wide receiver George Pickens especially had a tough night with five catches for just 19 yards.
Pickens showed his frustration throughout the game, as his body language revealed a wide receiver who seemed to be letting the lack of production get into his head.
It seemed almost a relief when Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week the injury Trevor Lawrence suffered in the Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals is a high ankle sprain.
That suggested Lawrence wouldn’t be out for the remainder of the year but would definitely miss some time, probably significant time measured by weeks.
And then Lawrence showed up on the practice field on Thursday and the team reported he participated in drills on a limited basis.
